'CSI' Star Gary Dourdan Arrested on Suspicion of DUI and Drug Possession

Former 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' star Gary Dourdan has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and drug possession.

E! Online is reporting that Dourdan was arrested at 3:50 AM Monday after allegedly plowing into multiple parked cars while behind the wheel.

The 44-year-old actor was said to be walking away from the crime scene when police officers came by after a person reported the car crash.

TMZ is reporting that during the investigation, the police found "a few pills" of ecstasy and arrested Dourdan on a drug possession charge.

Dourdan was taken to a nearby station where he was booked and later released after he posted the $10,000 bail. The actor is due back in court on July 7.

This is not the first time the actor has been arrested for drug possession.

In 2008, police found Dourdan asleep behind the wheel of his car and upon investigation arrested him for possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy.

Dourdan avoided going to jail by pleading guilty to cocaine and ecstasy possession and entering a drug-diversion program.

Gary,
Here your a favored TV personality with good looks and a chance
to go much further as you improve your skills as an actor. Dump the drugs before your life ends up in the gutter forever! Get a grip before the opportunity is lost. Look how many of your people would love to be in your CSI shoes.

Do it now!..............
Sincerely,

You people crack me up .....You seem to have this over active fasination with these "bozo actors" to the point that you make them so more important than the rest of us ...... I liked this guy on CSI, but JEEEEEEZ people, he is JUST AN ACTOR !!!! If you want to be concerned about something, then be concerned and grateful that this fool DID NOT KILL SOMEONE WITH HIS POOR JUDGEMENT !!!! The guy obviously has problems...... Get some help Dude...... But don't kill me or anyone else because you can't get another "prime" job that you had before...... It's over ...... Maybe McDonalds could use another washed up, has been Hollywood actor to take my drive thru order !!!!!

It's crazy how much Gary Dourdan and Chris Cornell look like each other.

By dlee

I certainly did enjoy him on CSI, upset when he left. But to set this record straight, he quit CSI, they did not force him off that show.He said he wanted to do other things, well I haven't seen him on anything since. He won't have to worry about working anymore if he continues down this path, too bad because he is talented and handsome. what a waste!

Where's the race card? This is obviously racist.

By moudsie

Is this what he meant -- by other things -- doing drugs? The get so full of themselves and think they are so very great (they usually aren't) and are bullet-proof -- they're not.

why do people love to see others fail or have everyday problems, just like their children, spouses, and other family members? so the man has a problem with substance abuse, there's gotta be a reason why. for one thing success is difficult to deal with. any fool can fail, but along with success there's a certain amount of responsibilities..thatmost people find hard to deal with, how about Robert Downy Jr. Charlie Sheen, And all the others that came along before Gary. give him the same sympathy and understang you gave the others. I still love and respect you for your talent Gary, just kick the HATERS to the curb.

By dtrsmith

I like him a lot was sorry when he left the show.if you need help i be there,with your fine self.love M.S.
